A Russian court ordered on Friday that the brother and several supporters of jailed Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny be put under house arrest until March 23 for calling for protests last weekend that could have posed a COVID-19 risk.

The court rulings are part of a crackdown targeting Navalny’s allies after tens of thousands of people joined unsanctioned protests across Russia last Saturday to demand that the Kremlin release Navalny from jail.

Navalny’s supporters plan to hold further protest rallies across Russia this Sunday. The authorities have said they are illegal and have vowed to break them up.

Who does Putin think he is? Dementia Joe Biden?
Next Putin is going to start arresting God fearing folks for making internet memes way back in 2016.
Oh wait, Biden did that already.

I feel we are in the crack-up boom of deep-state globalist ideology and grasping for empire.

Navalny is probably a CIA stooge. This is another instance of the deep state trying to overthrow a government. Doesn’t matter what one thinks of Putin, Navalny will be worse.

“Doesn’t matter what one thinks of Putin, Navalny will be worse.”

Actually, I was trying to be funny there. It seems that anybody who even writes an article criticizing Putin ends up shot by an intruder or taking a flying leap off a tall building. House arrest would be like Heinrich Himmler just slapping your wrist with a ruler.

Putin is no doubt corrupt and vicious, but that is Russia’s problem. Anybody the deep state wants in his place would be far worse. They want a Soros commie in charge of every country.
